The Face of the World-Famous Nic-o-boli

Nicola Pizza

Published: 01.05.2016

Nick and Joan Caggiano opened the doors of Nicola Pizza in Rehoboth Beach in 1971. They began selling only pizza, but after local lifeguards requested a protein-packed menu item, Nick Sr. invented the Nic-o-boli—and a star was born. Almost 45 years later, Nick and Joan pride themselves on serving fresh, homemade food in a family atmosphere. They—along with son Nick Jr., daughter Camille, and niece Kelly Munyan—work to ensure that current and future generations of families receive the same great service as past generations. The menu has expanded, and a second location opened in 2010, but if you are enjoying a Nic-o-boli at Nicola Pizza, chances are you will be asked by at least one family member, "Is everything OK?"
